The Cast Of ‘Basketball Wives LA’ Attend Season 3 Premiere Party

Just when folks thought that the Basketball Wives franchise had come to an end, VH1 launched the 3rd season of the LA edition this week with a bang. And there are a few new faces!

On Monday night, the cast gathered at Allure Studios for the official viewing party, which was attended by the new girls, Brittish Williams (who is engaged to overseas basketball superstar, Lorenzo Gordon), Sundy Carter (baby mother to Larry Hughes) and occasional cast member, Ariane Williams (an ex-girlfriend of DeShawn Stevenson). Jackie Christie (the self-proclaimed HBIC of the LA edition) was also on the scene with her daughter Chantel, as well as Somaya Reece, Lola Monroe, Daphne Joy, Miss Jackson and new mom Eva Marcille.

Noticeably missing from the viewing party (and for good reason) were Draya Michele and Malaysia Pargo.

Catch a few snaps below:Ariane Williams looked super cute and chic in black leather pants, pumps and a Kate Spade Cinema City Now Playing Clutch bag. Ariane started the episode off with a bang by interrogating Draya about her former relationship with NBA baller DeShawn Stevenson.

New girls Sundy Carter (left) and Brittish Williams (right). Sundy made headlines last year after she got into a huge argument with her daughter, and retaliated by posting her daughter in a compromising position with her boyfriend on Twitter.

Jackie Christie had a nip slip on the carpet but she pulled it together quick! Her daughter Chantel also joined her at the event. Allegedly, this season some ish will be popping off between Chantel and Draya over Draya’s man Orlando allegedly cheating, which will lead to a fist fight between Draya and Sundy Carter. Back in November, during filming of course, Sundy started bad mouthing Draya’s boo Orlando in a club and all hell broke loose between the two ladies. Draya may want to leave this show if she wants to guard her relationship or they will continue to put her in situations where her relationship is threatened. It happens on these shows all the time.

Somaya Reece looked gorgeous on the scene in a Philthy Ragz dress and nude heels. She’s been filming a reality show for awhile now but it’s been super hush hush!

They haven’t and won’t change the name of the show after all these years, get over it and find something else to complain about… 3 of them are wives and one is a fiancé… None of the housewives of ATL are actually housewives, they are all working women, it’s just a general name…

What the heck is Jackie wearing? If you recall the first season of Basketball Wives the girls were really laid back and didn’t dress up at all…you can always tell when a person tries to be fashionable but isn’t (cough) Kandi (RHOA). This outfit is horrible its not natural totally forced.

I like Draya and thats about it.

“Wife” is not a general name. But I will just let you go on and let you think you told me. Good job.

Ive never seen so many “ex groupies” on one post necole. Lol. It looks like a “thot” graduation! Joking…..but I really dont have anything nice to say except Somaya & Lola look pretty (& at least have “some” talent).

@YESSSS

I think we all know what she meant, she meant it’s a general title of a show. But the point is, like she said, the name of the show is what it is. I don’t get why some women continue to nag about this either lol.

Did these women know what kind of event they were attending?? Some of them dressed like they came from running errands, some of them dressed like they were about to work the pole and the others tried to look decent and failed miserably.

Honestly I don’t see it for any of these women. I saw the first episode of this season and it will be my last. They all just came out the gate SO SOON with the drama, its obvious every 1 of them is just thirsty for a check.

I would rather pluck my eyes out than watch these tasteless, unaccomplished women argue and throw drinks. NEXT!

@Lisa – I total agree about the fashion thing. I remember thinking how dressed down the LA BBW were when compared to how beat the Miami cast was. Now they are all so interchangeable.

Say NO to fake butts!!

@ Nay

Exactly THOT edition needs to be the name. I don’t know who ANY of these broads are. Thank gawd for the captions.

Lola’s @ s s omg….why??? Is the hanging diaper look “in” or what? Do men really lust after these deformed looking thangs?

Somaya looks really beautiful. The weight loss has really paid off.

I need a better picture of Eva.

This women have no class and Brittish is THE WORST! She does have an online store that is A MESS! You can tell she just started in retail and has a huge issue with her store. She doesnt stock inventory she gets preorders then places orders off the customers money so it could take weeks or months for the order! She claimed she had celeb friends and over 1000 orders yet could not ship an item I ordered! She is the epitome of ghetto and IG boutique fame! Cant stand the broad or her wack ass store with ish she gets from those korean manufacturers with no tags!!! I wanna go in more but you guys will see the truth come out with her biznesssssss

The other girl All seem like jump off’s lol ugh! a mess..

Lawd Miss Sunday Carter!! She is who she is and doesn’t apologize for it, love it!!

Draya, ***** foot ass of course wouldn’t show!! Not enough security there to keep ppl from rag tagging that behind.

Draya may have more mouth this season, but you can see she’s still soft inside, Sunday ROCKED that behind lol

@Kitty B- So because Draya didn’t show up to the event she’s a punk, Really tho? Malaysia didn’t show up either so is she scared too? If anything I think they are tired of the drama and decided not to show up because of it which shows a level of maturity. Draya has never been the one to try to fight and pop off, she defends herself without screaming and hollaring and throwing punches. You sound real young and childish kinda like Brittish, is that your girl!!!????

From my understanding Sundy is the 1 whose eye was blackened this season so it looks as if she may have been the one who got rocked, time will tell. I do see these new chics are following the “let me be a bish and turn up for the camera to secure my spot” handbook which is quite pathetic ESP since they have children but hey anything for a check and some notoriety I guess!? Anyways Somaya looks great, this is what a good meal plan and exercise can do for a body! She standing next to a bunch of chicks who have been nipped, tucked, and inflated and looks the best…

Oh yeah and Tacky Jackie is a mess, she still the master manipulator who tries to act like unity is her goal but the whole time she pulling strings! It’s sad too cause she a grandmother and always crying about her kids hate her, and its prob cause she did the same thing with them pitting em against one another… What I don’t get is why she looks the worst, all T all Shade I know her checks look better than the majority but she stay looking turrible. Cheap looking clothes and cheap wigs/weaves lol

These people be girlfriends sidepieces and children’s mothers (i hate the words baby mama) with a few wives. draya been a jumpoff from the start. I never new why she was one there. So is sundy i read up and got the tea about her. The girl that fiancee plays overseas looks like Melanie Fiona I thought that the whole time she was on screen

There are actually two women on this season who are married and have children with their NBA husbands: Malaysia and Brandi. I like the both of them and I wish the show could be centered around women like them dealing with real issues. Like Brandi trying for a second child after having ovarian cancer. She seems very sweet and inspirational. They feel like they have to add in these drama filled attention starved chicks to make the show but I wouldn’t even mind if it was just people like them and even Jackie who has sustained a long marriage as a basketball wife. As you see the two I named aren’t out at that even with these others.

Jackie, mlayasia, and brandi are both married to basketball players. draya and sundy are the ones that shouldn’t be on there. draya got a football player as a boyfriend and the only reason why shes on there is because she has a fan base. i do like that draya has did sort of a switch up. her personality to me is a hit and miss. i only like malyasia shes always been my fav. she doesn’t like drama.

OMG! Is anyone going to address Lola Monroe?!! She has RUINED her body. When that A $ $ drops and hits the floor her livelihood will be over smh Ladies it’s not worth it, throw on some booty poppers or something.

Tacky Jackie looks like a flaming hot plate of No Ma’am!!! Her daughter looks cute but if she held her breath any longer she would have been on the floor. I also hate white shoes no matter what season it is…if it’s white it better be a bad shoe, and that ain’t it. The girl with the booty shots or butt implants looks atrocious… Like why is your booty cuff on your thigh Ma’am???!!! Ugh.com The best dressed is Somaya Reece… Never thought I live to say that but Somaya is snatched and beat to the gawds!!!

Daphne Joy’s white dress…yes ma’am I wants that! I used to think Lola was so beautiful but something looks so off now. Maybe it’s that horrid neck tattoo or something or weight loss. I’m not sure. Jackie always look a mess. Eva is soo gorgeous *sigh* and….that’s about it. I never really got into this show. I check in to see what crazy Draya is doing. Her man is working overtime to revamp her as wholesome. Draya speaks on it on her IG too lol she says she can’t even wear some of her fineassgirls stuff anymore cause she’s a changed woman *sips mimosa*

lol. its sad that it took a man to make her want to change, thats something she should have done on her own. They not even married or engaged so i dont understand that! I like Draya, she is ok with me.

I think she started showing more pics of her and her son when that infamous twitter drag from 106& Park happened. Then she started covering up more when she landed her a football player. He a cutie too. But I don’t like that. Don’t change what attracted you to her. And don’t change if it’s not coming from the heart (Draya). I can tell the change is not authentic but I’ll stay tuned (on IG)

Mybe she never had a man to suggest to her that she is beautiful without hera$$ and breast showing.Yes he may have meet her like that but once you get to know a person and see they are more than a bodycon dress..But i do agree with don’t change who you are because of anyone.But sometime there is nothing wrong with a little suggest to tone it down..

I don’t think it’s him who made Draya change, I really just think she’s actually growing up, I think she has done everything she said she was going to do, she said she was going to work her butt off, and move her family to LA, her mother and her son, and she actually did that. Draya stays consistant, and even though she’s a free spirit, and fun party girl, she’s about her business. I remeber she also was working on her swim suit line, and Jackie was helping her, but turned out to be real messy, and Draya actually has a successful swimsuit line “mintswim” I think sometime when you grow as a person things start to fall in place and they clearly have, and I’m happy she found someone she really likes! I follow Draya, and she also interacts with her fans. Draya seems like a genuine nice person In my opinion, and I like her!

I will be so happy if sitcoms make a comeback. These reality shows are getting tired now. Basketball Wives has two different series (Miami & LA) and Love & Hip-Hop now has three different series (Atlanta, New York, and LA). Enough is enough!! I’ll just stick to watching reruns of Fresh Prince, Martin, Living Single, The Cosby Show, The Jeffersons, Moesha, A Different World, The Parkers…y’all catch my drift lol

I think Lola is one of THE most beautiful women I’ve ever seen. She is just too freaking gorgeous……….facially!! I really don’t understand why she felt the need to put that big ol’ tomato on those celery stick legs. She should’ve be satisfied with being a naturally beautiful Ethiopian woman. We need to remove the emphasis on big booties in our culture..it’s ruining our young women and their self esteem.

yes! Moesha had some good relatable drama! I loved me some of the Parkers especially the episodes where Stevie and T was exploring a relationship! T was so fine to me and that was the first time i ever saw a becky with a booty, i was so intrigued by that! lolol

I love the pic of Lola in front, but when she turns sideways its downhill from there.
I feel bad for these ladies.
Its funny cuz I was just on the Vice channel on Youtube. They have a mini doc on women with fake butts…I love it cuz its the truth, but equally its sad too.
These women are so messed up and because of it some are dead, or horribly disfigured.
Its really sad.

All of them are sooo thirsty for that reality check … i guess …But that Sunday Carter.. she just dont give a ****.. that pic of her daughter was posted again on twitter yesterday…What mother goes on TV and talk about a pic of her daughter sucking d*** (of which “allegedly she posted herself).. I dont get it… AND I dont care for Draya…but all of them are just straight hating on Draya… …Jackie C is REAL thirsty for attention and a check.. She is just too old to be hanging and acting like those younger women… smh

Being an NBA fan, I was really looking forward to watching this show the first time it came on (the Miami version). Silly me thought it was going to be about the lives of women who are married or at least living with players, and what it’s like on a day-to-day basis–Dad on the road while the wife deals with the kids and keeps up the home or works her job, how the household works when the man returns, dealing with groupies or contracts, etc…. This started off wrong when the women weren’t even with the players anymore, the players were never shown or barely even mentioned and the women were doing nothing but hanging out at each other’s homes or chilling at empty restaurants. Then in went way left with the fighting and overall ratchetness. I stopped watching after 2 seasons. This mess has completely run its course by this point. Who are these women? Their baby daddies aren’t even in the league anymore, never mind the fact that they’re not even together. Everything about these shows is false, fake and phony.

These new girls are messy boots! Apparently you can put anyone in front of a camera, and call it reality television.. I think I´d rather read a book than watch women continue to tear each other down, for entertainment purposes!

I watched it and just because these women have the ring and lavish lifestyle it still didn´t take the ghetto out of them. Those girls are something else. All of them. And Jackie is too damn old to be acting as if she´s 23.

Sundy, Brittish, & Jackie (as usual) will be instigating all the drama I can already tell. Jackie looked a hot ass mess on that red carpet and isn´t Jackie a bit too old to be hanging around all these younger women anyway? Does she not have friends around her age bracket?

Basketball Jumpoffs is more like it. Rachett!! Jackie never looks like she is wearing the clothes. Clothes wear her. She walks around like she is the boss chick but more like the boss. *****. They are all fake boring and lack substance. Go volunteer to help feed food kids.. Instead of running behind the gay and lesbian community.

Nope. Watched all of 20 mins, this new cast is nothing but trashy and their men should be embarrassed! They need to raise their families and run their business´ with respect for themselves. Just a shame how these women think it´s ok to act this way on TV

wth Lola was gorgeous to me she doesn’t look so well now =( Daphne is bad pretty girl, Jackie is always a hot mess act your age lady, but her daughter is cute, that girl Sundy I’m still mad about those rumors last year when I heard her talking about it on the show I was tight lol Charlamagene made her Donkey of the day for doing that to her faughter. Somaya looking real good! Arianne is pretty it’s just that horrible hair! and Brittish always looking like she sucking her stomach in always looking out of breath lmao

This show is garbage and just another program that makes us African American woman look ignorant to the general public. This making it hard for those of us who know how to behave and want to advance in life because we´re expecting to “pop off” over nothing. No. No support from my end.

That is the danger when there is no balance as to how black women are portrayed.
Side pieces, high society or not, baby mama’s and hoes, is basically how black women are portrayed on television being broadcast worldwide.

I’m not here for any of these new bishes only Draya and Malaysia! Jackie’s ol hag ass needs to grow up and take her daughter w her Tryna ride her mamas coat tails for a lil fame! She was on twitter throwing major shade about Orlando cheating w her if you have so much mouth maybe you should’ve tried to get a leading role on the show honey! And I agree w what Draya said 100% I’m the same thing all of you were before you got the rings! We all have skeletons in our closet and maybe have done some things we regret but we deserve a second chance! That Ariane girl needs her ass smacked what business you got questioning someone about your baby daddy on behalf of your kids mam he’s not even w you! I see why go figure! And Brittish you’re worrying about hoe activities I hope you take the coins from the show and hire a stylist to help w that atrocity that was your hair honey! Ok bye!

Jackie’s Daughter needs to have several! She is acting as if her and Orlando was in a serious relationship. I think Draya looks and has a better attitude than she does, she making herself look thirsty. With a mother like Jackie, I’m sure no man would want to deal with her!

I wish they would get some real wives for these shows. Jackie please stop trying so hard you are so desperate for attention your outfit looks really cheap and you can have many seats along with your daughter coming in a second desperate for attention. LA sucks Miami sucks Shaunie sucks.

Why do these women look like they shop at Rainbow? TACKY? Where is the class? Brittish needs home training, class training and self esteem training. Yu have a butique and look like that? NO WAY! Go back to Russia with that messed up weave and outfits.

I know it’s been said before me but…that butt on Lola looks a hot funky moving mess..but what I observed is her..Tiny..and Kim K all have that wet diaper look….oh and China too…they have the butt of my sissy who weighs 210lbs…it’s sad:-(…..how can u go to the doctor and ask for the duck waddle.,.soggy bread loaf…or wet diaper booty…I’m dead serious y’all help me please

Jackie’s old behind wanna be young so bad. I was watching the re runs for season 2, and I was embarrassed. She wants to be liked, and have friends so bad. I don’t think these “Crazy Jackie,” she’s just desperate for the spotlight. Draya being scared to show up? PLEASE, Draya aint worried about non of those non factors. She’s busy making money, and taking care of son. Thats why she’s my favorite on the show. I like Malaysia and all, but she seems like she’s gonna be boring this season. IMO

ohhh..emmmm.geeeee…Who are these tragic as women?!?!? And whomever this LoLa Monroe is, did she just buy her butt? Because she is TOO thrilled to be showing that out of shape, out of proportioned, man made, sagging to the back of her kneecaps, over stuffed pillow she calls an a*s*s*. Is this realy what they show on tv now a days??
